Description: Flag of Syria (1972-1980), while the country was in the Federation of Arab Republics. The Arab text in the scroll held by the “Golden Hawk of Qureish” reads Arabic اتحاد الجمهوريات العربية, ittiħād al-jumhūriyyāt al-`arabiyya, i.e. the Federation (literally “Union”) of Arab Republics — in a quasi-Kufic script (in its original form, with a very ornamental letter dal د). Unlike Libya and Egypt, Syria did not display its name on the flag during this period.
